I have to admit that I have a hard time "giving myself permission" to rest. <BR/><BR/>But I've found that resting often gives a story a chance to deepen and grow and send out roots that you can't see until you Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14706180.post-5682698777566773152007-11-07T10:28:00.000-05:002007-11-07T10:28:00.000-05:00I like the part about not worrying about a dry spe...I like the part about not worrying about a dry spell and giving yourself permission to do something else for a while.

The interviews that you and Jules post over at Seven Imps set a high standard, so I'm grateful for the kind words.... and even more grateful to Leslie for taking the time to share her thoughts. <BR/><BR/>And, Barbara, thanks for your comment.
